Identification and validation of miRNAs as endogenous controls for RQ-PCR in blood specimens for breast cancer studies.

INTRODUCTION: A prerequisite to accurate interpretation of RQ-PCR data is robust data normalization. A commonly used method is to compare the cycle threshold (CT) of target miRNAs with those of a stably expressed endogenous (EC) miRNA(s) from the same sample. Despite the large number of studies repo...
